"Ask for nothing but victory! Spare nothing for victory!"

Under the gaze of the huge "Wang Guangwei" on TIFO, the players from both sides spread out and stood in their respective positions.

The game is about to begin.

TIFO did not have time to put it away immediately, but continued to hang between the third-floor grandstand and the first-floor grandstand. It was about fifty meters long and more than thirty meters high. It was very shocking.

Especially the close-ups of Wang Guangwei in the picture are very real and delicate, with sharp eyes. If you look over, it feels like he is really looking at you.

It is also a coincidence that this TIFO hanging in the north stand is exactly opposite the England half-time in the first half.

England players can clearly see TIFO without looking up deliberately.

Just like Pete Williams now, he is watching.

He knows why Chinese fans made a TIFO of only Wang Guangwei in this game - the TIFOs of Chinese fans in the previous four games were all filled with multiple Chinese team players, showing that they are one unit.

Today's TIFO is Wang Guangwei's one-man show.

Why is this happening? Because this is the support of Chinese fans for their captain.

During the TIFO transformation process, the cheers at the scene never stopped and became louder and louder.

Until the last sentence came out, the volume of cheers was as loud as if the Chinese team had scored a goal.

To be honest, Pete Williams himself was deeply shocked.

The 29-year-old Williams is undoubtedly experienced in many battles.

He has experienced such a fanatical stadium atmosphere.

In his opinion, today's Jincheng Bailong Lake Stadium is no less than the most famous "hell stadium" in Europe.

As their boss said, Chinese fans are so fanatical that while bringing a source of strength to the Chinese team, they will also bring pressure.

But now he feels that what the boss said is not completely right - such a crazy home atmosphere will certainly put pressure on the Chinese team, but... the pressure we feel is also greater!

Thinking of this, Williams turned his attention to Darren Hunter in front of him.

The latter was standing in the center circle with a football under his feet. You couldn't see his expression or what he was thinking.

I wonder if he has felt the pressure brought by such a home atmosphere?

Darren Hunter stepped on a football, raised his head slightly, and looked at TIFO in the stands opposite him.

"Wang Guangwei" above seemed to be looking at him.

And he looked at her without giving in.

There was even a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

Of course he knows the little thoughts of Chinese fans.

It's nothing more than a grievance for their captain.

They seem to have great confidence in their captain and have high hopes.

So I wonder how they will feel when they see their captain being penetrated and exploded by me during the game later?

Hunter's feet were rubbing the football back and forth, already ready for kickoff, just waiting for the whistle.

The atmosphere was very warm, just as the boss said.

But that's better, isn't it?

In such a devilish "hell home court", defeat the home team and let the boiling volcano go out for yourself...

How cool!

※※※

"Game start!"

With the crisp whistle, Darren Hunter turned around and kicked the football behind him.

The much-anticipated quarter-finals have finally begun!

For England fans, they have been waiting for this for four full years.

After being eliminated by the Chinese team, I dreamed of revenge.

They had this dream for four years.

In this World Cup, because the Chinese team is the host, it cannot be placed in the same group as the seeded team England. It is a pity for everyone.

Then they began to study the competition system, hoping to meet them in the knockout stage.

Unexpectedly, their dream came true!

The Chinese team and England really met!

Not only the fans hope it, but the England players themselves are also looking forward to it.

In order to meet the Chinese team, England played its best performance in this World Cup against Spain.

Because they know very well that as long as they defeat Spain and finish first in the group, they have a high chance of meeting the Chinese team.

As they pursue this goal, any opponent who dares to stand in their way, whether it is a new World Cup team or a World Cup champion, will be ruthlessly crushed by them.

When Pete Williams received the ball from Darren Hunter, his brain calmed down, leaving all the previous emotions behind and focusing on the game that had already started.

Regardless of whether the competition environment is favorable or unfavorable for England, they can only keep their heads down and move forward.

※※※

Although there was a lot of "hype" before the game, after the game started, the England team did not immediately attack the Chinese team's goal at kick-off.

On the contrary, they played very cautiously.

Williams turned around and passed the football back, then ran back to receive it.

Then continue running, using yourself as a "relay station" or "distribution center" to pass the football to all directions and to the feet of your teammates.

Guide the Chinese team to gradually press up and spread their formation to create space.

When the Argentine commentator in the stands saw this scene, he said in a tone of "I had expected it": "England seemed very cautious! The Chinese team did not press it immediately... This is right! In such an important game, please

Stability is the first priority. The key to winning a game is not that you are stronger or perform better, but that you make fewer mistakes than your opponents..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw that the Chinese team did not huddle in the backcourt and allowed the England team to back and forth in their own half.

They quickly pressed up and tried to intercept the football in the midfield.

Shooters like Hu Lai seem to have become "defensive centers", running back and forth tirelessly in the frontcourt.

Even though it made him look like a "monkey" being walked, he didn't stop.

Not just him, but all the Chinese team players were pressing forward.

"At the beginning of the game, in response to England's defecation, the Chinese team used a high-position press!"

"The Chinese team players are very motivated! But I don't know if this is a good thing..."

"England plays in the backcourt in the hope that the Chinese team will press forward and grab it, so that the space behind them will leak out..."

In the commentary box, commentators from all over the world expressed their opinions on this scene. Some praised the courage and fighting spirit of the Chinese team players, but more people tactfully criticized the Chinese team's recklessness.

In fact, not only the commentator, but also any fan who knows even a little bit about penalty kicks, the Chinese team's approach is very "unwise".

England's goal was obviously to split the Chinese team's formation and leave more open spaces to exploit.

Shouldn't we not let the enemy get what they want at this time?

Why do you have to push it out the other way?

Do you think your start is not in "hell mode" enough?

But listening to the deafening cheers in the stands, it may be understandable - how can the players of the Chinese team remain calm and rational in such a fanatical home atmosphere?

The assistant coach of the England team looked up and looked around, especially in the stands behind the coaching bench. The Chinese fans looked like they were drunk, with their faces flushed and waving their arms vigorously. Veins appeared on their necks and foreheads, and they kept cheering.

Roar.

He feels that his boss is right. Having such enthusiastic home fans is of course an encouragement to the Chinese team, but more often than not, they are probably the ones who ring the bell - but they are ringing the death knell of the Chinese team.

When Chinese fans do not allow the Chinese team to make any mistakes, do not accept the Chinese team losing, and force the Chinese team to continue attacking...

How should the Chinese team respond?

From the head coach to the players, do they have the guts to face such a crazy home atmosphere?

In the midst of mass madness, how many people can keep their minds calm?

Look at what they are doing now...

The assistant coach turned his attention back to the court.

After the England team saw the Chinese team pressing forward, they immediately changed their previous practice of back-footing and passed the football forward.

After receiving the ball, midfielder Jimmy Stokes did not continue to pass the ball, but directly passed the football to the front wing.

There's right halfback Brad Pate out there.

Pate stopped the ball on the sideline.
To be continued...
